Do you miss a listening ear or just a chat? If you want more contact with others and it is not obvious to independently seek activities outside the home, Sterk Ouderenwerk will look for a companion for you. A volunteer from Sterk Ouderenwerk will visit you at home and regularly take you for a walk or just drink coffee or tea with you.

For whom?

• As you get older, you are no longer able to independently seek out activities outside the home or to resume these activities with some help
• You have few social contacts
• You live in the municipality of Nijmegen

Are you not eligible for our buddies? Other buddy projects in Nijmegen can be found at Buddies Nijmegen.

How does it work?

If you apply for a buddy, we will contact you to discuss your wishes. We will then look for a volunteer. We think it is important to find someone who suits you, which is why it always takes a while before a so-called 'match'  has been made.

Costs

A buddy visit is free. When you go out together, you pay for the travel expenses, also for the volunteer.
